Shoulder to the wheel,
F G D7
For someone else's selfish gain.
F G F#m/A F#m F#m/A Bm
Here there is no choosing, working the clay.

Wearing their anger

Like a ball and chain.

Fire in the field,

Underneath the blazing sun.

When the day was done.

To the holy one...

Verse 2:
Waiting for the train,
Labeled with a golden star
Heavy hearted boarding, whispers in the dark
Where are we going?
Is it very far?
Bitter cold terrain,
Echoes of a slamming door.
Chambers made for sleeping, forever.
Voices like thunder,
In a mighty war.
Cry out to the Lord...
Chorus
Bridge
F#m G
Man hurts man
A G F#m G A
Time and time, time again.
Bm C
And we drown in the wake of our power
C/A# G/B...
Somebody tell me why
